The Ren & Stimpy Show has become the latest animated hit of the ’90s to receive a reboot at Comedy Central.

Per a press release from the network, the reboot joins a reboot of Beavis and Butt-Head, Clone High and the Daria spin-off Joadie to Comedy Central’s animated offerings.

In a statement on the reboot, President of ViacomCBS Entertainment & Youth Group Chris McCarthy said, “We are excited to reinvent this iconic franchise with a new creative team and our partners at the Nickelodeon Animation Studio. ‘Ren & Stimpy’ joins our rapidly expanding roster of adult animation including ‘South Park’, ‘Beavis and Butt-Head’ and ‘Clone High’ as we continue to reimagine our treasure chest of beloved IP for new generations.”

President of Content and Chief Creative Officer for ViacomCBS Entertainment & Youth Group Nina L. Diaz added, “I want to thank our partners at Nick Animation as we re-imagine these iconic characters with a new creative team.”

The Ren & Stimpy Show originally ran on Nickelodeon from 1991-1995 for 52 full episodes. The series also aired on MTV in 1996.

An exact premiere date for the reboot has yet to be announced.

10 Fictional Places from TV and Movies We Wish We Could Visit

• Springfield

  Share

  Wherever Springfield is in the United States, it's definitely worth a visit. From Krustylu Studios to Moe's Tavern, there's something in Springfield for everyone.

• Monstropolis

  Share

  The whimsical Monstropolis is the setting of 'Monsters, Inc." Truth be told, one of the big reasons to visit Monstropolis is to dine at Harryhausen's, if only because it's SO exclusive!

• Wakanda

  Share

  There are many wondrous settings in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but perhaps the most stunning of them all is the Kingdom of Wakanda. It truly is an unbelievable nation, from its economy to its educational system. If only Wakanda were real...
• Themyscira/Paradise Island

  Share

  Who wouldn't want to visit the home of Wonder Woman?! Those Amazons are amazing!

• Radiator Springs

  Share

  Radiator Springs may be off the beaten path of Route 66, but their hospitality is second to none.

• Dillon, Texas

  Share

  Sure, there's plenty of drama in Dillon, but taking in a Friday night football game would be an incredible experience. At the end of the day, the mood could be summed up in two words: Texas forever.
• Gilligan’s Island

  Share

  Seemingly filled with unlimited resources (or at least supplies to make coconut cream pies), Gilligan's Island would be a blast to visit, particularly in the Minnow's crew and passengers were still there.

• Stars Hollow, CT

  Share

  All of the town festivals! All of the town characters! A visit to Stars Hollow would be amazing for people-watching alone. Of course, a meal at Luke's Diner or Al's Pancake World would be a must.

• Pawnee, IN

  Share

  Pawnee is seemingly the biggest-little town in Indiana. They have nightlife (Snakehole Lounge, Cozy's Bar), they have plenty of restaurants (JJ's Diner, Tom's Bistro), they have...well...beautiful parks! Oh, and they have some of the best government workers ever, Jeremy Jamm excluded.
• Emerald City

  Share

  Emerald City is certainly magical, but the journey along the yellow brick road is half the experience.
